Belle said nothing, looked away.

“A rabbit?”

“I passed it too close with my windows down, I thought it would fly away before I reached it.”

“Should I call Poppy or Edwin Meyer?”

“No. You should think about the iodine, it’s in the upstairs bathroom, and a bandage, and some clothes and a towel for me.”

Belle nodded, then looked down and studied one of the imaginary thorns under her skin. “A little boy, you say? Or a dwarf?” She would write these phrases, Belle would, on slips of paper and save them.
